ISA 48:20 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

צְא֣וּ מִ⁠בָּבֶל֮ בִּרְח֣וּ מִ⁠כַּשְׂדִּים֒

go_out from,Babylon flee from_[the],Chaldeans

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please go out from Babylon, please flee from the Chaldeans]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you

צְא֣וּ מִ⁠בָּבֶל֮ בִּרְח֣וּ מִ⁠כַּשְׂדִּים֒

go_out from,Babylon flee from_[the],Chaldeans

The commands Go out and flee are plural, because Yahweh is addressing all the people of Israel. If your language distinguishes singular and plural command forms, use plural forms here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠כַּשְׂדִּים֒

from_[the],Chaldeans

Here, the Chaldeans represents the land that the Chaldeans rule. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from the land of the Chaldeans]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠ק֣וֹל רִנָּ֗ה

with,a_sound_of joy

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of singing, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [With a song]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַד קְצֵ֣ה הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

until end_of the=earth/land

Yahweh is using to the end of the earth as a common expression of the culture to mean “to the most distant places in the world.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to the most distant places in the world]

Note 6 topic: writing-quotations

אִמְר֕וּ גָּאַ֥ל יְהוָ֖ה עַבְדּ֥⁠וֹ יַעֲקֹֽב

say redeemed YHWH servant_of,his Yaakob

The word say introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly.
